Um Eric, my first (very long) post was pretty well detailed. I wouldn't know much else to say. Sure, pictures always help I know, but I have dial-up Internet and pics take a LONG time to upload. The set is already pictured in at least one other thread of mine. I will try to find out which.

Frankly, I am surprised that so far nobody is familiar with one of Zenith's most popular chassis designs that again was used in variations for several years if not a decade. I have some old sets that the chassis comes out with the CRT and others that don't. The older ones usually do come out as a unit because most CRTs were 19" or less. Then the larger 21" took over and sort of became a standard during the mid and later 1950s. My set has a 24" CRT which was rather large for the time, so they bolted all of that weight to the cabinet thinking that repair would be easier on the repairman's back. Again, a shop would have the necessary extension cables and test CRTs for this type of set. I just don't....
